How many major plot points are usually identified in a story structure?

  1. 2

  2. 4

  3. 6

  4. 8

The correct answer is: 4

Stories generally have four major plot points that make up the structure of the narrative the exposition, rising action, climax, and resolution. Option A is incorrect because two plot points are not enough to fully develop a story. Option C is incorrect because six plot points may be too many for some stories and would result in a more complex structure. Option D is incorrect because eight plot points would be too many and may add unnecessary details to the story. Therefore, option B, with four major plot points, is the most commonly used and effective structure in storytelling.
